Bethesda has released replicas of some of the Vault Boy Bobbleheads that you can collect in Fallout 3. Fortunately you won’t have to look far and wide for the figurines. Unfortunately they won’t increase your stats. You’ll just have to find another way to be better at Energy Weapons.

Each figurine stands 5″ tall including the base and is made of PVC.

Count your bottle caps and head to ThinkGeek or the official Bethesda store to get the figurines. They cost $15 (USD) each or $80 for all seven.

One of my favorite video game franchises is Fallout. If you are a fan of the game, you will appreciate the latest product from Bethesda Softworks called Vault 101 Sneakers. They are also known as Vault-Tec Item 72778011-101.

Created by Tweak Footwear, these Fallout sneakers have the blue and yellow colors that are so popular for those locked away inside the vaults. They are covered in blue suede leather with yellow trim, which is guaranteed to bleed if you get them wet or expose them to high doses of radiation. The shoes also feature a molded EVA sock liner for durability, but does nothing to reduce your chances of contamination.

The Vault 101 sneakers are offered in sizes from 7 up to 14. Girls who want a pair need to subtract two from their size since they are men’s sizes.

The shoes are officially licensed Fallout merchandise and are available now for $84.99(USD) per pair from ThinkGeek or the Bethesda Store.

If you were hoping that Bethesda will be making an announcement at the upcoming Spike TV VGX this weekend, prepare to be disappointed. This is according to a tweet made by Bethesda’s Pete Hines who wrote, “I am not going to VGX. Bethesda is not showing/talking about anything at VGX. Just some PR meetings in LA. Take deep breaths.” This is without doubt a huge disappointment for gamers who were hoping that Bethesda would be making some kind of Fallout announcement during the event. After all the company had unveiled Skyrim during the Spike TV VGAs (before it was changed to VGX), so it wouldn’t be a stretch for them to announce something new this year.

Rumors of Fallout 4 have been circling for a while now, although it was recently with the launch of a mysterious “The Survivor 2299” website that fueled speculation that a Fallout 4 announcement was imminent. Additional updates all seemed to make reference to previous Fallout games and the franchise in general. However the countdown clock on the website did not line up with the Spike TV VGX, leading some to believe that perhaps the website could be a hoax, especially since you can register a website under a different name, not necessarily your real one. Either way there is still a slim chance that the countdown clock could point to a separate announcement, but in the meantime we suggest you not get your hopes up just yet.

Ever wondered how much money in video games and science fiction movies would be worth in our world? Well, thanks to the Intergalactic Exchange Bureau, you can now convert between a number of fictitious currencies.

Developed as a promotional stunt by Money in Advance, the Intergalactic Exchange Bureau can convert currencies from Star Wars, Star Trek, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire and a couple of others. Whether you’re paying in Gold dragons, Septims, Creds, or Galactic Credits, you’re covered. Though don’t try and pay in Rupees. They don’t take Rupees.

Of course, they didn’t have actual exchange rates to work from, and they came up with their own estimates based on their independent assessment of the value of objects in the various fictional universes. That said, real-world currency relationships were based on actual market values. Though what the price of frozen concentrated orange juice in New York has to do with the price of lightsabers in the Dagobah system, I don’t know.

With the right number and kinds of Lego bricks, an overactive imagination, as well as plenty of time for execution, you know for sure that humankind can come up with some rather zany Lego “inventions”, and heck, there are even Lego-based theme parks to boot in this world. Well, Simon Liu must have had spent plenty of time behind the computer playing Fallout and its sequels in the past, which was why he decided to use his talent and some Lego bricks to come up with a working Lego Pip-Boy 3000.

The “Pip” in Pip-Boy 3000 stands for “Personal Information Processor” just in case you were wondering, where it functions as the the player’s Heads Up Display (HUD) in the games that Bethesda delivered in the past, namely Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. This Lego replica looks terrifyingly like the real deal, where it comes with a display and an FM radio, in addition to lights that can be manipulated thanks to the Lego knobs that are located on the left side of the unit.
